Hi,
Is there a way how to influence the deployment order of EJB packed inside WAR (according to EJB 3.1 spec).
Background: We have a servlet filter, where we need to access EJB bean.
The problem is, that the filter is Guice driven, so we can't use @EJB annotation in the code, however we have to make a custom ejb lookup.
Problem: When we deploy the web app, we get an error saying, that the EJB is not bound, because the web app and the filter is initialized before the EJB.
Workaround: If I create a plain old servlet filter with @EJB annotation to an existing EJB, the deployment order is correct (1. EJB, 2. Web app).
However this forces me to create useless filter, with @EJB reference to some existing bean.
Is there a "proper" way how to influence the order ?
thanks for your answers,
Tomas
